Hello Kai,
thank you for confirming my guess that it seems to be an unknown variant of a dipalata.

It is in my hands, you should know my photograph background!
Yes, the handle is for sure original to the blade, no doubt.

When it is indeed a dipalata it seems to be an unknown variant. It seems nearby that the one from Michael in the link coming from the same group and because this one has the colourful scabbard (but we don't know if it's original to the sword) I've considered that it could come from an other island maybe.
Regards,
